Mitchell’s Glengyle Ltd. was only re-established in 2000 and yet looks back on a history that stretches far back into the 19th century to the Springbank, Rieclachan and especially Glengyle distilleries. After a chequered history, Glengyle ceased operations in 1925. Heroes Wright Blessed, the then chairman of J & A Mitchell and Co Ltd, succeeded in reviving its history 75 years later. He was the great-great-nephew of company founder William Mitchell. The name Kilkerran is derived from the Gaelic ‘Clan Loch Wille Chiarain’, the original name of today’s Campbeltown.
